Baby, you’re a firework…

Which reminds me, I see her in concert again in TWO WEEKS. Be still my heart. Anyway. Remember how I played around with taking pictures of sparklers/fireworks last summer? I did it again. And I think I’m getting better. Regardless, it’s so much fun and I got some great shots this time around, too. See?Continue reading “Baby, you’re a firework…”

‘Tis the season…for photo booths

There are few things more fun than a photo booth. It’s pretty much par for the course for a wedding reception to have one anymore… so being that I am trying to become more of a professional photographer that does weddings and such, I thought I should try to start getting in on it. Plus,Continue reading “‘Tis the season…for photo booths”

Photo(s) of the Week, special edition

You guys – I got some new photography toys. Thanks to the magic of Amazon and it’s amazing deals, I got all of these goodies for an awesome price. Why, you ask? To do more of this kind of thing: The goal is to eventually have enough to buy another camera so besides my regularContinue reading “Photo(s) of the Week, special edition”

Baby steps

I’m working on this whole photo thing. And I am getting so much better, dammit. I can take a senior portrait like nobody’s business (which reminds me – a post of those is headed your way soon) and I just did my THIRD wedding photo shoot. So while I am definitely keeping all that up,Continue reading “Baby steps”

Pretty people

My camera and I have just recently passed our one year anniversary. It’s been a lit more than a year since I successfully campaigned for a DSLR for a Christmas present and since my family is awesome, my campaign worked. I think I’ve taken probably 10,000 pictures this past year. That’s a rough estimate, becauseContinue reading “Pretty people”

Pretty pictures…if I do say so myself

I’ve gotten the OK from the brides-to-be, so now I can share. I’ve taken two sets of “Save-The-Date” photos for two of the three sets of my favorite couples getting married this summer. And I’m pretty proud of them. Neither one went as planned – at Rachel and Chuckie’s it was ridiculously windy and theContinue reading “Pretty pictures…if I do say so myself”

Finders’ keepers

I think I punctuated that correctly. Anyway. Currently, as a bookmark, I am using a Les Miserables little fact sheet that came in a book I bought from Half-Price Books. It was convenient, so I kept it. I did not, however, put a picture of it on the Internet. But I should have! Because thereContinue reading “Finders’ keepers”

The power of persuasion

You guys, relentless hounding, hinting, nagging, bugging, suggesting and blogging on the subject really does work! ‘Cause guess what this girl got for Christmas? In all seriousness, though, it’s much more and much nicer than I expected and I’m blessed to have gotten it. My parents and sisters are the best and they’ve covered justContinue reading “The power of persuasion”

In case you needed another reason

Newsflash. I cannot find the charger for my camera battery. I found A camera charger, but it’s the wrong one, leading me to think mine might be somewhere I can’t go back to (cougholdjobcoughcough) or somewhere in the abyss that is my room/closet/car.. The best thing to do at this juncture would probably be toContinue reading “In case you needed another reason”

Looking for a good present to get me? It rhymes with shmamra.

Oh hey there. I was just thinking earlier today that it’s about that time. About that time when I remember that people that buy me birthday/Christmas presents read this blog. And hopefully, they are susceptible to blatant hints. On account of there’s something I want. And not that i expect it but it would beContinue reading “Looking for a good present to get me?
